In answer to the liberals: snicker while you can, becuase it's those dreded "rich" who sign the government checks. Once they're gone, the fun begins.
They're not going anywhere. The US is very business-friendly and low-tax. The number of businesses that leave to find tax havens is more than matched by the new businesses that start up. And the raising of the top tax rate from 35% to 39% won't make much of a difference. The people screaming "Go Galt" are dingdongs.
News flash. Workers do not contribute to the unemployment insurance fund. Employers pay FUTA and SUTA. Where on your pay stub is the dedution for an unemployment insurance fund? It does not exist, yet people really believe that they have been paying into an unemployment insurance fund.
They have a dedicated unemployment insurance tax in my state. I assumed most states where the same but it appears some do not. It is called "unemployment insurance tax".
The liberals think it's great to create a class of lazy irresponsible people that collect checks and bailouts and free everything. Since that's the case why should I continue to bust my butt? I just mailed in another tax check to the feds. Why?
OK, third time asking but specifically who is sitting around collecting checks, genius boy? Other then unemployment (which is insurance people pay into) what has gone up in the last 15 years? Sure as hell hasn't been welfare. So where, oh where, are these mythical people sitting around receiving checks for nothing?
You don't know do you? That would be because you're talking out of your backside and there are no secret vast millions that liberals are secretly handing out checks too. It really does take a special mix of stupid and ignorance to ever believe that nonsense you wrote.
Congrats on your conversion to the liberal life! I do recommend that you ask our resident libs for advice on topics like mail box camping and hate mongering. I am sure the stress of your new game plan will be covered liberally by "that guy" and his socialist programs. Don't forget to turn in your "hard working" American card since you won't be needing it anymore.
This is a banner day in liberal land, they all have to be smiling and digging for their wallets to give you a helping hand. May the "lack of work" force be with you.

I am in the process of trying to claim disability for serve anxiety and emotional distress I'm under. I figure it will run about $22,000 in medical and psychiatric evaluation to achieve this status. But it's okay, the tax payer whom are left will pick up the bill, as remember, I now own nothing on the books. I can file bankruptcy as need be too.
I'm done, you few tax payer and ambitious people left out there who desire to go through miles upon miles of red tape to turn a profit, can give it all to me.
I'm now officially, fat, lazy, worthless, disabled and living off you. you may call me Garfield, or even Obama is you like......hey it's all good!
Wait until the entire country follows my lead, then we will truly have achieved, liberal utopia. Afterall, this is what y'all wanted!
Won't you come sing Kumbaya with me?

Yes, that is exactly what I was saying. The employer pays for the unemployment insurance fund, not the workers. Like your link says:
"UI is paid by the employer. Tax-rated employers pay a percentage on the first $7,000 in wages paid to each employee in a calendar year. The UI rate schedule and amount of taxable wages are determined annually. New employers pay 3.4 percent (.034) for up to three years. EDD notifies employers of their new rate each December."
I was only commenting because many people believe that employees fund unemployment insurance and then they withdraw money from that pot. In fact it is the employer who pays the tax and not the workers.
Good for you, and I wish you all the best. I too am thinking of somthing similar. I'm already on Social Security, but I live in an 1860's farm house. I'm thinking of applying for some kind of grant, to restore it, and getting it on some list of historical buildings. Then, I can live here basically free, and all the rich liberals will pay my way.
I too, have no insurance. Don't need it. The liberals are more than happy to pay for any medical costs I may have.
Heh, there you go! I've got some fruit trees and blackberry bushes. I figure if I convert part of my shed into a chicken coup and get a few laying hens, I may be able to get a farm subsidy!
I also want to find some lib, hippy-dippy company to make my manufactured home into a solar or wind energy prototype. I'll be happy to give tours, sell organic eggs and various cobblers.

Cool. Now your customers will be available for the real entrepreneurs to snag. Good news for the other small businesses in your town!

Sounds right -- your patriotism was clearly of the t-shirt variety, and you'll cut and run at a drop of the hat. At least you are man enough to admit you are a fairweather tax payer. Don't feel bad, most of the tax-evaders are republicans too.

Can't say I blame you with that. The private healthcare system would have just kicked you out to the medicaid/medicare system anyway, as soon as you had any kind of health problem. You're just saving them the trouble of canceling you. They get to keep your premiums anyway.

This is funny, you take the profits off your wage slaves backs, but when your business fails, you blame them. Typical hypocrite. Maybe you should have paid better wages, you would have got more effective employees.
Cant afford better employees? Then you shouldnt have been in business in the first place.

Yep, because "liberal asset attorneys" are the only variety that routinely hide assets.....

Good luck with that. You are saved if you have a heart attack. However, if I were you, Id lay off of anything that could lead to a heart attack, since the emergency room doesnt owe you preventitive care. Have fun.

Thats 22k out of your pocket. Have fun. Emergency room care doesnt diagnose psychiatric problems. If you are planning on trying to retroactively be reimbursed by Medicaid for the expenses, you have fun doing that as well.

No, youll be picking it up. Medical bills are not excused from bankruptcy.

You have demonstrated that you have little to no knowledge of the "system" outside what you heard though your various sources of baseless right wing propagana
Hey, don't knock Home Depot. Looks like a happenin' place, lotsa happy people willing to help the customers. Not much thinking, not much challenge, but would get alot of exercise up and down those long aisles, and a paycheck.
Home Depot actually has a whole lot of bright people staffing the stores these days. I went in a few weeks ago for some plumbing stuff, and that was the first time a person working in a Home Depot department even had any clue what I was talking about, and he even offered some unsolicited advice installing the stuff.
